thanks.. i called back again before the status changed to ready, the call center agent said we can proceed but it's the CO's judgement if they will turn him down or if they will interview him...

this is really a learning experience...

thanks Hank

What do you mean "eligibility" letter. You mean your NOA2?

visa interview done today... APPROVED!!!

[Hank_ 9,173]

Excellen news!!

Of course you know you are not actually "approved" yet, ISSUED is the real moment of approval. Took two weeks for us to see our visa... patience is still the order of the day.

[Greenbaum 12,258]

Super news!!! Just a little longer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The U.S. Embassy Manila definitely will have your case ready to go by the time your interview rolls around.

Go to the interview. They will be ready for you.

he went 3:30am, (i told him to go 6am but he woke up so early and can't go back to sleep) he stayed in Bayview Park Hotel, he was 5th in line but 2 people inserted infront of him because they have kids with them.. he rented a chair for 30pesos... They started lining up at 0530, started asking for papers at 0600. then went in to a window to give the appointment confirmation, then finger print, then prescreening with Filipina consul... she asked: his name, fiancee's name, when did i immigrated to the US (since I am an immigrant), how did i able to immigrate, then she asked for his papers: nbi, cenomar, bc...she then asked if he has proof of relationship, fiance said YES and asked if she wanted to see the pictures, she said NO, it's ok...Then oathtaking, then interview with young american consul... he started questioning right away..he asked his name, bday, how did we met, fiancee's work, his work, when did fiancee went to the US.. He then said, I don't see any problems with your papers, consul gave him paper about his rights, then said, pls proceed to Step 5, your visa might be approved this afternoon. He asked the consul if he is approved, consul said not yet, your visa might be approved this afternoon. He went to step 5, person asked him if what did they consul say, he said that Consul told him CONGRATS, the person said, Consul's remarks says you can go home and wait for the visa to be delivered to your desired address, then he went home to his hotel by 9am

did not ask for affidavit of support or an financial evidence, never checked any proof that my fiance brought..

thank you Hank, Greenbaum and Tahoma, you 3 are a great helper...
